Cons
"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server.""The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products.""The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface.""They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved.""HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy.""The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required.""The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement.""I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."

More HPE OneView Cons →

"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward.""I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market.""The solution should be more user-friendly.""AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view.""The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models.""In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
  • "​Use it. It is free."
  • "​I am happy with the price."
  • "HPE could lower the price."
  • "I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
  • "The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
  • "Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
  • "This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
  • More HPE OneView Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Mostly, it's a perpetual license. We don't have any customers using the subscription right now—it's mostly a perpetual license that the customers purchase. The licensing is based on the number of elements, whereas other solutions are node-based."
  • "I believe the current licensing cost is reasonable."
  • "Since it's a negotiable rate, I would rate the pricing as a five out of five."
